Camera in hand, get ready to canvas unbelievable sceneries of an unequalled wildlife. Gallop in the outskirts of a lush, tropical countryside paradise. An exciting, yet challenging feat for the novice and seasoned horseback rider alike.

Cruise across a sugar cane plantation. Witness the traditional way the indigenous people ploughed this crop.
